What it does

Docs Architect is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Creates comprehensive technical documentation from existing codebases. Analyzes architecture, design patterns, and implementation details to produce long-form technical manuals and ebooks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Design patterns and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design patterns
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “Use the docs-architect skill to create comprehensive technical documentation from existing codebases”
  • “/docs-architect”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Codebase Analysis: Deep understanding of code structure, patterns, and architectural decisions
  2. Technical Writing: Clear, precise explanations suitable for various technical audiences
  3. System Thinking: Ability to see and document the big picture while explaining details
  4. Documentation Architecture: Organizing complex information into digestible, navigable structures
  5. Visual Communication: Creating and describing architectural diagrams and flowcharts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Docs Architect loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 502 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 502 words (~1,116 tokens).

“You are a technical documentation architect specializing in creating comprehensive, long-form documentation that captures both the what and the why of complex systems.”
